[Electric Boats] Re: Useful gauges

 

Paul
My A4 instruments were mounted on a removable panel. I made a new aluminum panel with the ON/OFF switch and Potentiometer. I eventually will replace the pot with a single axis joy stick. The cycle analyst will get mounted somewhere in there also whenever I get it. I hope to have all this operating with in a week if daily life agrees.
